Headline is incorrect. The actual value is $2.6MM.
- morgante 13y agoThat's referenced in the article itself. The phrasing was intentional, to fulfill Betteridge's law of headlines. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge's_law_of_headlines
- joshu 13y agoNo. The investment was $2.6MM.
- pbreit 13y agoIt's not normal use of the phrasing but I think the author's meaning is: "Is NPM worth [a] $2.6m [investment]?" The author seems to think some VCs make investments with limited expectation for a return which I think is mostly wrong (I can easily see GitHub being acquired or IPOing).
